time to prepare for some things. I hope you understand.
I'm working on the last round of editing for it.
Vol. 31 is scheduled to go on sale in September. That's also when I'm
hoping to start my regular issues again.
Inoue also said of Ittosai:
"My brushes wear out faster for some reason when Itousai appears. That solid character consumes my brushes."
So, we'll hopefully have a cover by September, and new episodes to boot (though it usually takes longer to resume than the initial estimate, so I'm expecting late September or October). Then, the countdown begins for the Viz version, but their volume 30 release (Nov. 17) won't even be out before 31 in Japan; it's like now that they've caught up they're trying to fall behind again.
